Cotton Tail Creek Ranch

At Cottontail Creek Ranch, we offer a luxurious family-owned ranch retreat nestled within the rolling hills near Cayucos Beach. Our expansive 850-acre property includes seasonal creeks, a fishing pond, beautiful fruit orchards, and a 60-foot lap pool complete with a spa and a kid's step. The ranch provides a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, serving as a home base for exploring the richness of California’s Central Coast.

Our location provides proximity to both the Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo wine regions, ideal for wine enthusiasts. Whether you want to explore the rich wine culture or indulge in outdoor activities such as hiking, horseback riding, surfing, or sightseeing, our ranch is a perfect choice. For those eager to explore, our onsite accommodations are just a short distance from the beach, making it easy to experience all that the Central Coast has to offer.

The ranch boasts a storied history, initially operated as a dairy by Swiss Italians who immigrated here in the late 1800s. The Lyon family has been proudly continuing this history since 1999, after adding a luxury vacation rental designed to provide guests with a uninterrupted and immersive ranch experience.

We invite you to get in touch for availability or to learn more about how Cottontail Creek Ranch can be your next holiday retreat destination. Hosts Susan, Kristopher, and Michael Lyon look forward to welcoming you to a memorable stay on our historic and scenic ranch.
